Almak: Hahahahaaa! I think I was actually doing something along the same lines early on in my first playthrough of the game. Hey! Recession calls to desperate measures. XD
I remember finding a really badass sword somewhere on top of the wardrobe in one of the houses. The problem was that there was a guard right next to it. So I actually planned the entire robbery down to where I would run if he notices me and where to offload the phat lewt as fast as possible. It was almost like a mini game in its own...yeah definitely one of the worst mini games I ever played. Heh. :P

Ois: I played the loot-offload as well. Enemies could not move between zones, so you could jump between buildings quickly and store all your winnings.
